To the family of my very dear friend, my heart cries but the tears are finally drying knowing the torment and pain is over and her work with God has begun. Of course she had her duties here on the sight and everywhere she went she brought energy. My husband is the person here with Stage IV Breast Cancer and Linda had been a special ANGEL whom always brought us smiles and peace. The posts were many and the encouragement was unbelieveable. You must know how very empty our hearts are and that I will always try to give back in the same way that she did. She was our fine example of what a warrior should be and through the time that I knew her I gathered strength and power to fight this fight with my dear husband. Linda helped me to become more knowledgeable about breast cancer, more demanding about what we needed, but most of all she empowered us. We are all better people for being able to know and love this spectacular woman.

To Linda: I promise not to cry too long but you must understand how alone I feel without you here. Please tell our many other Warrior Angels we mourn for you all. You are going to be working with God in a different realm now, your work here is done. Thank you for showing us all how to fight, thank you for teaching us the true meaning of the human spirit. When you look down from above and watch us, remember that there is a part of you in everyone you touched. We were blessed to meet you and we are fortunate that you were unselfishly sharing your journey with us for yourself as much as for us. In my heart you shall always remain and although we will never forget you, we too will unselfishly give back to the circle we call cancer. I will never forget the love and strength you had and I ask God to watch over you special!! I love you and always will!!

Crying but not too long because I know you do not want that, I will continue to pray for your family. As for you...you have just entered a special prayer list for My Special Warrior Angels, a tribute for my friends that will never be forgotten. And Linda, I promise I will never stop believing. I Love You!!
